Emerging practices such as psychedelic and animal-assisted therapies offer exciting possibilities and raise new ethical challenges. 

Join us for our Annual Fall Virtual Forum, a dynamic professional development experience designed to inform, inspire, and connect with social work professionals across practice areas. This year’s forum will bring together leading practitioners, scholars, and advocates to explore timely issues shaping the social work profession and the communities we serve.

Substance use exists on a spectrum, yet the field has historically relied on rigid categories and crisis-driven responses. This webinar equips social workers with practical, evidence-based skills for working effectively across the full range of substance use—from risky use to severe substance use disorders—using a continuum-based, person-centered framework.

Substance use disorders remain among the most stigmatized and misunderstood health conditions, often shaped by outdated policies and rigid treatment models that fail to reflect current science. This webinar invites social workers and behavioral health professionals to reimagine substance use care by bridging the gap between policy, neuroscience, and day-to-day clinical practice.

Join us on September 24 for NASW's Professional Development & Services Joblink Virtual Career Fair connecting social work professionals with top employers from across the country. This online event will feature organizations actively recruiting clinical, mezzo, and macro social workers for a wide range of employment opportunities.
